If Morgan signs for a club outside the UK do we get hee haw a la Jamie Fullarton? If so, let's hope Ajax, Feyenoord and PSV Eindhoven weren't paying attention to the U21 international match the other week.

Was there no something in the John McGinn saga that he could go to the States as they aren't signed up to the compensation scheme, but if he went to Europe we'd have still got compensation?

The general consensus is that English clubs want to get their hands on Scottish talent as early as possible in their careers, because they aren't thought to be receiving the right development north of the border. Look at the feedback Mallan has been getting (from his father on the other thread).

They might believe it's worth paying a premium to get their hands on him six months early, in order for him to be 'ready' by the start of the following season.

the question is, why can't we provide that kind of development and physical preparation in Scotland?

Does it cost a lot of money that we just don't have or is it just that the clubs and managers don't think it necessary?
